Title: Roll-up curtain assembly
Inventor: SCHMELZER RICHARD P
IPC: A47H5/14
Filed: 2003-11-13
Granted: 2009-08-11
Abstract: A roll-up curtain assembly includes plural, vertically spaced, horizontal roll- up rods extending across an opening. Each roll-up rod is coupled to a respective flexible curtain section and an electric motor. Actuation of the electric motor in a first direction of rotation causes rotation of the roll-up rod in a first direction for rolling the flexible curtain section onto the rod and moving the curtain assembly to the retracted, or open, position. Actuation of the electric motor in a second, opposed direction of rotation lowers the roll-up rod resulting in an unwinding of the curtain section from the rod allowing the curtain assembly to assume the extended, or closed, position. Plural vertically spaced curtain sections each having a respective motor/roll-up rod combination are coupled together and move upward or downward in unison.

Patent CA-2460958-C (CA)
Inventor: BOYER MARK A
IPC: F24C1/14
Filed: 2004-03-16
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: A cooking appliance employing rapid cook technology includes a controller which automatically converts conventional cooking temperatures input by a user to rapid cooking temperatures. In accordance with the most preferred form of the invention, after a user enters a standard radiant cooking temperature into a control panel, an electronic controller subtracts a certain amount, preferably 25°F (approximately 14°C), off of the standard temperature. This reduced temperature is then shown in a display provided in the control panel. The controller will use this temperature as the actual cook temperature for the cycle. However, in order to assure food quality, this method is only employed in relatively short convection cooking cycles, such as a convection bake mode.

Title: Device for rotational stabilization of bone segments
Inventor: HALL HARRY THOMAS IV
IPC: A61B17/80
Filed: 2002-09-30
Granted: 2011-04-12
Abstract: A device for rotational stabilization of bone segments comprising a bone plate (10), a bone lag screw (18), and a locking collar (50). The bone lag screw (18) has a bone-engagement end (20), a distal end, and a keyed cross-sectional profile (32), the bone-engagement end (20) configured for engaging a first bone segment. The bone plate (10) has a flat portion (12) for engaging a second bone segment and a barrel portion (14) having an internal bore for slidably receiving the lag screw (18). The locking collar (50) has a keyed internal profile (21) that mates with the keyed cross- sectional profile (32) of the lag screw (18) to rotationally couple the locking collar (50) and the lag screw (18) when the lag screw (18) is inserted through the locking (collar50) , and an outer surface configured and dimensioned for free rotation, in a first position, within the internal bore (16) of the bone plate barrel portion (14) and frictionally engaging, in a second position, the internal bore (16) of the bone plate barrel portion (14) to resist or prevent rotation of the collar (50) relative to the bone plate (10), and thereby resist or prevent rotation of the lag screw (18) relative to the bone plate (10). The frictional engagement is achieved by a deformation of the distal end (56) of the locking collar (50) within the internal bore (16) of the bone plate (10). This deformation is achieved by the application of force to the collar in the proximal direction.

Title: Accoustical apparatus and method for measuring water level in a ground water well
Inventor: CARKNER STEVE
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2004-08-16
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: An acoustic distance measuring device adapted to measure the level of water in a ground water well by first emitting a sonic low frequency acoustic pulse and measuring the time-of-flight for each reflected pulse from the surface of the water in the well. Each reflected pulse must have an amplitude greater than a threshold amplitude or it will be rejected. Based on time-of-flight measurements from the first low frequency sonic pulse reception windows are established for a second higher frequency sonic pulse. To refine the time-of- flight measurements for the second pulse only those reflected pulses whose reception times fall within the reception windows are accepted. A more accurate calculation of the distance from the sonic pulse emitter to the surface of the water is accomplished by using the refined time-of-flight measurements from the second higher frequency pulse.
